Be it known that I, BELLE L. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Oincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State,

of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Soap and the Method of Making the Same, of which the following is a specification.

This will require approximately one part of soap to fifteen parts of turpen- The white soap is prepared by stirring tine.

together finely-divided white soap and boiling water, preferably in the proportion of four parts of soap to one part of water. This should produce a semifluid sticky mass. The ingredients thus prepared are then mixed, stirred thoroughly, and poured into molds.

It is obvious that limited quantities of other non-deleterious ingredients may be added for scenting, coloring, &c., without departing from the spirit of my invention.

I claim as my invention- 1. The herein-described method of making soap, consisting in heating oil or spirits of turpentine until incipient boiling sets in, mixing the heated turpentine with a small quantity of white soap, reducing a quantity of white soap to a semifluid mass, and mixing the prepared turpentine and the prepared soap, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
